7.4 Axial measurement
Two measuring systems
If the measuring job is performed with two measuring systems, a maximum of two trigger
events can be programmed. The measured values of both probes are acquired for each of
the two probes.
One trigger event
$AA_MM1[axis] = trigger event 1, measured value from encoder 1
$AA_MM2[axis] = trigger event 1, measured value from encoder 2
Two trigger events
$AA_MM1[axis] = trigger event 1, measured value from encoder 1
$AA_MM2[axis] = trigger event 1, measured value from encoder 2
$AA_MM3[axis] = trigger event 2, measured value from encoder 1
$AA_MM4[axis] = trigger event 2, measured value from encoder 2

Read measurement results of MEAC
All measurements are written to a previously defined FIFO variable. The possible number of
measured values is defined via the machine data (see Section "Measurement (Page 446)").

Endless measuring
In order to implement endless measuring, FIFO values must be read cyclically from the part
program. The frequency with which the measured values are read from the FIFO memory
and processed must correspond to the writing frequency of the NC.
The number of valid entries is readable in a FIFO variable.
If measuring is to be terminated after reaching a defined number of measured values, the
measurement job must explicitly be deselected in the program.
